Grain

One of the first artists to be released on FatCat, maverick producer Arthur Smith has to date released 4 stunning 12"s for the label.

With all material untitled, tracks are based around chunky, driving rhythm loops, working a space that puts Grain up there with the likes of Jeff Mills, James Ruskin, Surgeon, Steve Bicknell and Robert Hood.

One element that sets Grain apart from these producers is an overt use of humour. As is customary with Grain, each of his releases feature hilarious, Jerky Boys-style telephone wind-ups. Grain's profile has grown stronger with each release, and an album is hoped for at some stage.
